lyrics

In the hope of eternal life
There is a struggle and there is much strife, but
When you grow weary don't give up the fight
Put out your hands and walk to the light, yeah

In the middle, yes at the core
If you're sitting still you'll see a door, that
Leads us all to a better place
Where all the guilt is replaced by grace

So fall down to your knees
Asking for a mercy that you need
Reconcile the shame and your grief
I know there's difficulty in a gift that's free
But, God, for you is waiting patiently

Holy Love, Holy Grace,
Holy Comfort show your face, on
On the sins i know are mine
But this dull life never dims your shine
This dull life never dims your shine
This dull life never dims your . . .

Shine down on your son
Not because of what i have done
Wisdom says that you're the only one
That can redeem all the damage that i've done

I bring my cares to you and i throw them like confetti in the wind
And like a child i will run to you and fall into your loving arms
I bring my cares to you and i throw them like confetti in the wind
And like a child i will run to you and fall into your loving arms
Cuz you know me, you know me, you know me and you understand
Cuz you know me, you know me, you know me and you understand

So shine down on your son
Not because of what i have done
Wisdom says that you're the only one
Who can redeem all the damage that i've done
Who can redeem all the damage that i've done
But this dull life never dims your shine
This dull life never dims your shine
This dull life never dims your shine
